The A286. Runs through West Sussex. Some good bends and long straights which means speed ;) Stunning views as your drive along to.

to me all roads are good roads :).

they just have to fit into the following area's

1.Empty of other drivers
2.No speed camera's (this does not imply that I speed its more the fact I hate camera's because you end up thinking more aobut them then you do your actual driving GRR!)
3.No muppets in smaller powerd cars thinking they can take on V8's or tubbys.
4.A Petrol station near by (lols)
5.SPRING & SUMMERTIME
6.Road surface must be good and not made for 4x4 driving (i.e pot holes,huge bumps,calming measures etc etc)

and thats it really lol

My two favorites are snakes pass. Sheer genius road. Have to be pretty careful on it though. lol. Another one is the road from kendal to lancaster. The B6254 i think it is, i first drove that at about 2o'clock in the morning in summer and didnt see a single other car, never had so much fun with my clothes on tbh lol.

stone street gong from canterbury to ashford. it's about 15 miles long with a 2 mile straight at the start followed by some big hairpins and downhill twists and at the bottom there is a nice snake run which flattens out and straightens for a 1/4 mile. quality road to drive

i like MK, it has lots of straight roads, and lots of traffic lights. drag racing at it's finest.

and the occasional 106 parked up in a carpark shouting abust and beeping at us at 3am lol

I like the back roads between Settle and Skipton in North Yorkshire.

Too easy to find air with the little humps and drops in the road!

most of the roads around cornwall are fairly awesome but blind corners are a bit scary tbh. imo it's got to be the run from dobwalls to newquay along the old a38 from victoria then through the back lanes - massive straight section to start with no cameras then lots of corners to test handling etc :)
